I couple of weeks ago, I was sewing the *final* seam on a kite I was making and I was worried that I would run out of thread. I watch the spool slowly unwinding and happily managed to finish the seam with a good six inches left. At the same time, I noticed, like you, that I had just run the bobbin out with a couple of inches to spare. Of course, I had to go out and buy a new spool of thread to sew on the reinforcements, etc., but you can't have it all ways. Cheers Andy -- Andy Wardley is the man from abw@peritas.demon.co.uk.

You're all my best mates, nah I mean it, I really luv you all. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
